So I've done good and bad since Monday. Although the only day I've worked out since was Wednesday.
As usual Tuesday was our day off although I ate well for both breakfast and lunch. And actually dinner wasn't that bad either really. HDT's mom made me a birthday dinner of pork roast, garlic mashed potatoes and corn. And I was good and only had one bun. Bread is my down fall, big time. But I did go back a couple times for the potatoes. Love me some garlic mashed.
Wednesday I worked out again. Ate well for breakfast and lunch. And now can't for the life of me remember what we had for dinner. Oh yeah, one of those Hormel 4 minute microwave meats (the Italian beef tips) and some fake (potato flakes) garlic mashed potatoes. Although this time I was bad and had two rolls. But since I did well with food over all and I worked out my calories were still under for the day even with the bread. But then I believe (didn't put them in the counter) the couple cookies I had for desert put me over.
But as HDT points out, the calories I'm allowed by Lose It are the recommended amount to lose 2 pounds a week. Since I didn't go over by much I'm still ok because it'd still be under my usual calories I'd eat from before we started this.
Last night I had every intention of working out, even washed my face and put on my sports bra when I got home. But by the time HDT got home and dinner was made and eaten I no longer had the desire to get on the treadmill, let alone the elliptical.
And today we're going over to some friends house to have a cook out and learn how to play euchre. So there won't be any exercise today either. But breakfast and lunch have been good as always. At least I don't have to worry about those, during the work week anyway.
Tomorrow I'll have to make sure I get a good workout in. Especially because we'll be taking another friend and his family out to our favorite Chinese restaurant for dinner. We're taking them out in appreciation of him helping with the kitchen floor, well mostly doing it actually.
This week my weight has pretty much held steady. Only going up and down a little bit at a time, never even a full pound. But what could I expect really what with the little exercise to help it out.

Bad weekend, bad
So this weekend was bad when it came to food but we at least did the scorpion flip several times and we've started doing the plank as well.
Friday night we finally went out for my steak dinner. But instead of going to a fancy steakhouse we just went to Outback. We decided to save on some money and go there since we know we enjoy their food as well. It's a good thing we did too because we still ended up spending close to 80 bucks. We even split the dinner too.
We got some chicken wings for the appetizer. They were pretty good but not what we remembered having there so they must have gotten rid of the those kinds. It's been quite awhile since we were there last so who knows when they got rid of them. Then chose to have the 8oz fillet with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli for the sides. And I also got 3 grilled shrimp. So the dinner was good for us. He got most of the steak, we figured he got 5oz and I got 3oz but that was good since I also got the shrimp. But then we ruined it all when we got the warm brownie with ice cream on top for desert. But we split that as well at least. Nowhere near as good as the desert from Red Lobster which we considered for about 2 minutes going over and getting. But we decided to be good and not go. We also had a couple drinks each. He had long islands and I had something that I can't remember the name of now. But it had vodka in it and it was nice and sweet. HEE
Good thing we didn't get the 2nd desert at Red Lobster too since by the time we made it home we both felt satisfied. If we had gotten our own meals we definitely would've been uncomfortably full. Although we both agreed that if and when we go there again we'll get our own sides and split the steak still. And skip the appetizer and desert. With the bread they serve at the beginning and having our own full amount of sides we'll be just fine. I still might get the shrimp so that way he still gets a bigger chunk of the steak.
Saturday was really really bad. We had frozen pizza for lunch/breakfast and then I had an Italian beef and fries for dinner. Which the dinner wasn't so bad but then we had chocolate cake (I had a huge slice) and chips and several shots. We had friends over for game night to celebrate my birthday. He had pizza again but this time it was double dough with pepperoni and bacon - very bad. I had the tiniest corner piece of it but that was it.
Sunday wasn't any better really. Although calorie wise I probably just made what I should be eating in a day. I had a piece of cake for my breakfast, not anywhere near the size of the night before. Then we went to his nephews birthday party where I had a pretty darn small piece of ice cream cake and by the time we got home it was going on 7pm and that's all I had had all day for food. He cooked up some ground beef to make tacos for himself and I had couple hot dogs and potato chips. So the food wasn't the greatest but at least it wasn't a ton of calories the way Saturday was.
And every day we did some flips and started doing the plank on Saturday. Yesterday I had a migraine bad enough that I stayed home from work and he still made me do the plank a couple times. But I refused to do the flip, was in too much pain for that. Was able to stay up for 43 seconds the first time and 30 the second.
My back is paying for it today. But at least it's a good workout pain. But my head still hurts too so that's not good. May skip the plank this evening and only do a couple flips. We shall see.

No steak for me
So, yeah, we didn't go out for steak on Friday night. I knew I was getting my hopes up too high for it to happen. Especially since HDiTty had to work this weekend.
He made a good point though. Since he had to be to work at 6:00am we couldn't go out and just relax and have a good time. He wouldn't be able to have a drink, not really anyway, and we would've been looking at the time too much.
So we agreed we'd go out this coming Friday and celebrate. We shall see.
So instead we ate badly. We had Chili's for dinner. I had their chicken crispers which are fried along with french fries. And they completely forgot my corn on the cob so I didn't even get to have anything healthy. He had boneless buffalo wings and southwest egg rolls. Yeah, those are really bad for you. I had half of one as well. They are yummy though.
The rest of the weekend was hit or miss. We had fish fillets and tots on Saturday for dinner and a frozen pizza on Sunday. During the day on Sunday I had a frozen breakfast (scrambled eggs, hashbrown & 2 slices of bacon) meal with some bread and then popcorn for a mid afternoon snack. I can't remember what I had on Saturday though, obviously wasn't all that earth shattering.
I was bad too though. On Saturday what I do remember having was a full sleeve of thin mints. Really really bad.
And I didn't do any exercises, I sat on my ass all weekend. Didn't even do the scorpion flip. Yep, gotta get back on it.

Birthday, it's all good no matter what!
So I was a good girl last night. Finally!! I got on the treadmill and plugged in 300 calories to burn. I changed it up several times too. I mostly kept a 3.0 - 3.5 pace. But I got it up to 5.0 to jog for a minute, then later to 5.5, then the last jog I did 6.5. But that one I was only able to do for just over 30 seconds. But it was at the end, I only had about 4 minutes left to go so I think that was pretty damn good. Especially since I also put the incline up several times as well.
Then for dinner I made some chicken breasts on the grill along with some plain rice for the side. I was gonna make some green beans but we're out. The worst part was having the bread but oh how good it tasted!
Today for lunch our boss took my department (accounting) and the admin department out to lunch since it's also our accounting manager's birthday as well. 2/3 of our accounting department is birthdaying it today!
He and I decided to go some place different than where we normally go (Olive Garden) and chose TGI Fridays. It was a good choice. I had the Jack Daniels burger, yum! I normally get the JD chicken but felt like a burger today. I'm glad I did, it was really really good.
Tonight, hopefully, I'll be going out for a good steak dinner. Since I'll have to wait for HDT to get off of work I think I might still do something in the way of exercise; even if it's only for a 1/2 hour or so. That way I can work off some of the lunch and still have time to take a quick shower and redo my hair and makeup. How sad will I be if I do all of that then he forgets he's supposed to take me out? We shall see.

Cause I'm gonna need it
So, yeah, still not doing much of anything. Haven't gotten back on the machines since the last time. What was that? A week ago? More? Can't even remember. Food has been hit or miss. More miss than hit as usual.
I asked HDT last night if he'd be home on time tonight and that we didn't have any plans that he knows of. He said that he should be and that we didn't so I said we needed to get back on the machines. We shall see if that happens.
Right now I feel ok, I'm not tired, other than just tired of work; as this afternoon has been pretty damn slow, not much of anything to do right now. I could always file of course but I just don't feel like it. 35 minutes left in the day. UGH!
Not sure what we'll do for dinner tonight. I didn't take anything out to thaw so probably just do chicken and tots or fish and tots baked in the oven. I'll have to see if we have any chicken breasts to take out for tomorrow or Thursday night.
My birthday is Friday and right now I want to go to a good steak restaurant for dinner. We shall see if that happens as well. A few weeks ago his sister Jess asked if we'd like to go with her and her daughter to see Rango that night. At the time I was ok with it but now I'm not so sure. I don't think she has said anything more to HDT about it. Especially now that they had a little tiff on Sunday and she went home in a huff. Dont' know if they've talked since or not. And I'm not gonna bring it up because really, I just want to have a really good steak somewhere.
Hmmm, thought about maybe going to Zanies afterward but after checking it out just now and seeing it's $24.00 a ticket plus a two item minimum I don't think so. Yeah, that's just too damn much money right now. Especially if we really do go and get a steak dinner. That alone is gonna be pricey.
Anyway, I guess I'll worry about that on Friday. Right now I gotta think about getting in the mindset of hopping on the treadmill or the elliptical tonight. If I psych myself up for it maybe I'll actually do it.
Wish me luck.
